I just wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news with you all! The lovely Karen at Feline Playful has decided not to discontinue her challenge list after all, and has taken on a team of co-ordinators, and I am very proud to be able to say I am part of that team! Therefore I will no longer continue to update my personal list, everything will be done through Feline Playful. We have some fab upcoming plans to expland the information on offer over there so please visit the blog for all your challenge needs!

Hi and hope everyones been having a fantastic holiday season. I was back to work yesterday, the 4 days off went sooooo fast!

Onto our last challenge of 2010 at C.R.A.F.T, this week we'd like to see your Thank You cards! I'm sure lots of you will be needing them so why not make good use of any new crafty stash ;)

This challenge's fab sponsor is Craft Obsessions who are generously offering our winner a £10 Voucher!

I've used this very sweet LOTV cat which was sent to me a whilw ago by my lovely friend Sarah! He's coloured with Promarkers and I've used papers by Kate Knight. The sentiment is from the same paper pack, and I've embossed some purple glitter card with a cuttlebug folder, I think it's called birds and swirls or something like that! The border punch is from MS and the gems and ribbon are from stash.

Happt Boxing Day! I dont know about you but I'm off to the sales today to see what bargains I can hunt down! So without further ado, let me tell you about the new challenge at I Did it Creations this week!

We are sponsored by the lovely Sylvies Stamps which you can find here and we'd like to see your creations along the theme of 'In with the new!' As I'm likely to be needing a baby card fairly soon, I've decided to use this very sweet image. I've coloured him with promarkers and the papers are from Martha Stewart. The ribbon and buttons are from stash.

Thanks for looking!
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

I've used Promarkers to colour the image and paper from Dovecraft cut with Nesties Labels one. The ribbon is from crafty ribbons and I got all the silk roses from Home Bargains! The peel off wording is by papermania.

Isnt this penguin a little cutie!! He's called Paul drawn by Robyns Fetish digital stamps, and you can find him in various guises here.

I've coloured him using Promarkers and have made his background using Silkies paints and my brayer. The larger backgroud is made using a large snowflake stamp from Inkadinkadoo which I've stamped all over the front of the card base. The ribbon is from crafty ribbons, the dew drops are from Sarahs cards and the snowflakes are made with a Dovecraft punch.

Sunday means challenge time again over at I Did It Creations! This week we are sponsored by the lovely Mizumedia designs, whose images you can find here at the Stitchy Bear Stamps shop.

For my card I used Hibiki Sleepy, and thought it suited a Get Well card! I was short on time so I have used the pre-coloured image that is included, along with Papermania Papers and acrylic letter stamps for the wotds. The image is cut out with Nellie Scalloped Rectangles frames and the card candy is from Craftwork Cards.
